Colts' T.Y. Hilton among Reggie Wayne's top 10 WRs

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton may have had a down-year in 2017 without the benefit of Andrew Luck under center but franchise legend Reggie Wayne still believes No. 13 is among the top wide receivers in the NFL.

In Wayne’s list of top 10 wide receivers for NFL Network, Hilton comes in at No. 10, rounding out the list. Wayne believes the expected return of Luck will put Hilton right back into the upper echelon of wide receivers.

A four-time Pro Bowl selectee, Hilton’s been a constant bright spot in Indy’s struggling offense without Andrew Luck. If (or, as I like to think, when) Luck returns from his shoulder injury, the deep threat will get right back to putting up 100-yard games on a consistent basis.

Hilton’s down-year in 2017 saw him come just short of 1,000 receiving yards for the fifth-straight season. However, it should be noted the entire offense lacked consistency without Luck under center.

With Frank Reich taking over the offense as the new head coach, the Colts will be focusing on getting the ball out of the quarterback’s hands quicker but that doesn’t mean the deep ball is leaving Indianapolis.

It will be interesting to see how Hilton does in Year 7 but with the expected return of Luck early in the season, the high production for the Colts’ top weapon should return.
